General LÉPINE (Joseph-François-Antoine-Gabriel) 1736-1797 - General of Artillery - STRASBOURG (67) le 6 floréal an 2 (25 Avril 1794) - Lettre A.S. LÉPINE Général de Brigade d'Artillerie - adressée au Citoyen MICHAUD, Général de Division commandant en Chef de l'Armée du BAS-RHIN. - 2 1/2 pages in-4°: "General DORSNER has communicated to me the project, approved by you, of casting 24-caliber guns of a much lighter weight than those which have hitherto been used to attack places, inviting me to help him determine their dimensions, and to follow their casting and testing... But I will no longer be able to do so, as the Mayor of Strasbourg has assured me that the law on the General Police of the Republic obliges me to leave the city. It seems to me that this law does not name retired generals... and a man who has served his country faithfully should not be under suspicion...".
